the problem with president obama in the first couple years it seemed he went in trying to find common ground because he essentially was elevated as a public national figure and the democratic convention in 2004 speaking about there's no blue, there's no red state, let's find common ground. fine, let's find where we can. when you come in, give it a couple weeks. when mitch mcconnell says the day you're inaugurated that his republican's first priority or second priority is to take you down, i think you give it upcal weeks and then you find a different governing strategy. i think the president in these last couple years has found his strong footing and he has, you know, there are areas where he hasn't been as bold and there are always -- there's always that. but it's not that. it's essentially saying that hillary clinton is a candidate in many ways of continuity to time of extraordinary change and if i could, we talk too little about foreign policy. i was struck again at the cnn poll out on the eve of this forum with hillary leading in her command of foreign policy, national security. we
